That might as well be a 10'' sub.That surround is huge and stupid,not to mention doesn't function like a cone would.Just get yourself a 10'' DD sub and it'll perform similar if not better.

Well I paid about $210 for it, so I think it should be worth it.

retarded statement, have you ever seen a eclipse ti the one with a tc 3hp motor, its surrond is big yet it will easily hang with a dd3500 in spl and destroy it in sq, not saying this ED sub is great but saying its crap just by pics and becuase the "surrond is huge" is just retarded.

Yeah, judging from the reviews, it's pretty loud, without the cone area. Displacement takes over in the lower frequencies anyway, and it has the Xmax to make up for the cone area, and it's under hung.\

Lil Rob, you gotta find out more before you go saying it's a JL copy, he discussed that thoroughly in the blog.

Maybe you guys would like to read about how cone area and surrounds work?

Thanks guys.

Just because a sub has a high xmax does not mean it will get loud.

DIGITAL DESIGNS NEW EROM SURROUND PROFILE

DIGITAL DESIGNS has developed a new surround profile to handle the ever-increasing need for cone excursion. This EXTENDED RANGE OF MOTION (EROM) profile allows for increased excursion while keeping the effective piston diameter high and wasted moving mass low. EROM surrounds combine high sensitivity with extended low frequency capability.

Traditional wideboy, inner tube type surrounds allowed for some additional throw but at the expense of both effective radiating diameter and sensitivity. A 15" speaker with a wide surround uses a 12" cone body; a 12" uses a 10" cone, and so on and so on. These smaller cones reduce the area of the speaker that pounds out the SPL. What sense does it make to send out a 12" speaker to do a 15" speaker job? EROM surrounds allow the use of 15" cones in 15" speakers, 12"s in 12"s and so on and so on. EROM surrounds give long throw AND large piston diameter.

Those same inner tube surrounds have much more inherent moving mass due to their bulky, inefficient profiles. This wide inner tube profile requires extra surround thickness to keep them from flapping around under power. The added moving mass requires more amp power to overcome all the bulk. The EROM surround profile takes advantage of height to increase surround travel. Surround height is the major component to excursion, not width. The reduced surface area of the EROM profile reduces the required moving mass. The EROM design is highly efficient in its excursion/mass ratio.

EROM surrounds are a true breakthrough in the design of highly efficient long-throw subwoofers. Digital Designs is always at the forefront in the development of technology to push subwoofer performance to new levels. The EROM surrounds we developed are being copied around the world, some even use our EROM term in their advertising. So while others are copying what we do and how we say it, we'll be breaking ground on new stuff. Stay tuned.



Straight from DD's website and the funny thing is...it all makes sense.

I wouldn't go around posting false information and I wouldn't bullsh1t about stuff on here.I'm proving my point and backing it up with references.If I'm wrong teach me why I'm wrong and I'll respect it.If I'm right I'll make sure that you realize it.I'm here to help people and if others are saying false information I'm going to correct them on it.

I didn't say you were wrong, but you are extremely condescending and I don't see how anyone can respect what you have to say regardless of its credibility because of that. Try simply informing someone of what the correct information may be instead of calling them stupid or ignorant before hand.

I did neither.Everyone tried to jump on my balls saying I didn't know what I was talking about.Proved them wrong.Dustin was the one who said I made a retarded statement.He attempted to quote me and failed so I said he made himself look like a retard.That's all,I didn't call anyone stupid.It doesn't matter if people don't respect what I have said because I'm going to say what I want regardless.Like I said though...if I'm wrong prove me wrong and I'll accept that I'm wrong and that's all there is to it.If I'm right...oh well I'm right, get over it.

and FYI rob cone area isn't everything, BL plays more of a factor in spl than cone area.

Alright, enough BS in the thread. It was started for opinions on the sub.

And SkieS...I am going to give it about 1100 for now. That should be sufficient, but if it isn't I can upgrade in the summer when I am done with school.

The BL isn't all that high on that sub either.

"Alright, enough BS in the thread. It was started for opinions on the sub. "
And that's what I did Ben,I gave my opinion on the sub.

""Rob. Look at the xmax."

Just because a sub has a high xmax does not mean it will get loud."

I missed the part where I said it will get loud. You commented on the wide surround I said look at the xmax. As said above the displacement will more than make up for the cone area lost.

BTW, Rob, just cause a company's website says something about their technology, doesn't mean its true. Its all about marketing. That is a VERY biased way of looking at things and you should know that. I'm not saying I don't trust DD, I'm a huge fan. Not tryin to be a d!ck but your askin for it.

I only said that because I didn't want people who wanted opinion on subs would think Xmax is everything.I wasn't aiming that directly at you Skies.Oh and DD isn't all about selling like crazy the way you think they are.DD tries to protect dealers and keep their product sold in shops and off the net and don't sell or mass product insane amounts of subs like other companies.DD is the real deal my friend.They don't have to even use "Marketing" to sell their subs.Most people find out about them through word of mouth or online.If they wanted to sell tons they would just go to best buy and circuit city and sell online like most other companies do but DD isn't about all of that.I wonder how their home audio is taking off...

Yeah, true Rob...

On that note, anyone know why DD is dealer/local only and Audioque went online only?

It might not be that DD doesn't want them there(at CC and BB), it could be that they don't fulfill the expectations for DD. A bad salesman can make a bad name for a company.

I'm sure when DD first started they had marketing, although I have no proof.
